I doubt Lee or Issa particularly care about anything that doesn't serve their corporate donors, but taxes for those in the lowest brackets are about the same as they were in the 1980s. Many poor and working class folk like myself legitimately struggle to meet our tax burden.
Incorrect. The marginal rates may be similar, but there are so many more credits today. Working class people generally receive money through the earned income tax credt, child tax credit, etc. Of course, they do pay a lot in highly regressive payroll taxes, but even those have been slashed as of late.
